Well it's time for an update. My block was being machined and my crankshaft was being built the last 12 weeks.

I picked both of them up from the L.A. area last Friday.

I bought a Bryant Crankshaft, it was a great decision. beer

The Ritter Block -
I took it to a top notch machine shop (QMP) because they had worked on a Ritter Block in the past, one that had a lot of problems, so I wanted them to see one of the newer Ritter Blocks. They are one of the best machine shops on the West Coast. Mike and Brad at QMP are real easy guys to work with. NO BS straight shooters that will tell you nothing but the truth, even if it hurts your feelings. grin

They machined it up and told me they had no issues with the block.
I had the cam tunnel opened up to 60mm (roller bearing). A screw in rear cam plug (total bitchin)
Lifter bores bushed
Decked to 9.580"
Line honed
Bored to 4.185"
Diamond honed
It was pressure tested and passed with flying colors.
